I still have a cassette from 1991 with songs I recorded off the radio, and this is one of them. lol

I use, “then the horns kicked in” every few weeks at work. It’s a wonderful non sequitur for people who don’t know this song.

It’s Oct 2024 I’m back for the feels. Everyone I play 2NU for either loves it or hates it. I was at work in rural NC, I moved there, and a guy I worked with randomly did the um baba cho while were changing out and I said “This is ponderous man really ponderous” he slow turned and said he had never met anyone else that knew that song.

1:04 "Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

I remember hearing this on the radio and how wonderfully weird it was.

Be funny if you had things set up to look at, like the sign "aren't you supposed to be at work?"

Be honest. You were in my situation. You heard the song, forgot the name, looked up "My shoes started to squeak" and here you are Have a nice day :)

This takes me back to my college days.

I’m with you. I recorded part of the song off the radio like 30 some years ago but have never been able to find it. Never knew the name or who sang it. Thanks!

Yeah nobody remembers it. I tried searching on google but couldnt think of the name exactly, just snippets of lyrics. It took forever to finally pin it down.

Oh my gosh. I heard the tail end of this song on my way to work this morning. What a fun one! And this video just seals the deal. Thank you!! :)

I remember when this was on the radio. People would call in to the station for a contest to see if they could recite the OOOM POPPA part to win some giveaway. Those were fun days. Cool vid!

The telephone operator sounds like he's speaking the Tongan language.

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this. Miles of smiles man!

It looks like he’s using an iPhone, but this was made in the early 90’s 😲

Oom papachucka maka nanu singow Meling kapalana wani domo chingpow Heddy kapalua cuma jenising tea Oomama chucka pana one is now three

Can you imagine how many people actually got in their car drove(paying $1/gallon or so, but their car probably only got about 22mpg) to a record store solely to purchase this record or cassette? Yes, there were stores that just sold music. They were one of the first things that the Pilgrims were taught by the natives after arriving in the New World on the Mayflower.

Funny as I listen to this now over and over, I somehow think of the movie office space.

Been searching for this song for over 10 years. I remember listening to this on 98.5KRZ when I was only 11. So many good memories.

The selfie stick walk decades before it was a thing.

Omg absolutely awesome. Lol so funny

So ponderous

You did a real good job on that one.

Been looking for this song for awhile.

I heard this song ,, again,, in 2018... In a McDonald's parking lot, in Columbia SC, while working for a remote repair technician job. This song illustrates the DADA absurdity movement in the early 90's.

And then the horns kicked in. And my shoes started to squeak.

Memory rush

Here after the mj morning show played this lol

Best part in the song, when the operator started speaking! Lol

If this song came out in the 80’s, it would have been lumped into the New Wave genre.

How about not a Ball or Box but whatever you speak... and there's only not a Ball or Box but infinite ♾️ amounts of these not a Ball or Box..is that PONDEROUS???

A friend gave me this album over 20 years ago, because he said it sounded like me yelling in it. And I'll be damn...It does sound like me yelling! But I've had this album ever since. Love it.

this is strate fye 🔥🔥💸💸

Just to update the age of the comments.

Very ponderous dream

Classic song!

This song was so ahead of its time! I think if Bill Lumberg when you hear the boss say, "Aren't you supposed to be at work?" 😅

92.9 Zoo FM in Spokane Washington used to play this in the morning on my way to highschool.

Ha ha! Love this song and that no one remembers it.

Dude, I just found this. Amazing!

I heard this today on the 90’s channel on SiriusXM. Never heard it before.

OH WOW! I remember this song! We was on some good shit back then!

KPLZ Seattle!!!

Hey you posted this a year after KZbin started it looks like did you have a digital camera?

My little brother was a disc jockey at canine FM in Reddng and I called him up said hey have you ever heard of this song check it out he hadn't heard of it yet

This will always be one of the best KZbin videos EVER!!!

This is definitely a song that would stood out to me if I had heard it back in the day, sadly I didn't even know this song existed until yesterday when someone posted it on Facebook.

6:38 pm... Oct. 1, 2021... 15 years after this video's upload, I've heard it for the first time.😅

I've loved this song since it was brand new back in the early 90s. :) NIe job with the self-made video.

very cool song. I too spent a long time trying to find it.
